How asbestos garage roof removal works in Outwood
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Outwood. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. People often contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and single garages, including bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
In a village like Outwood, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Materials, one by one
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Outwood, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Typical garage roof jobs in Outwood
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages due for demolition
- Single garages
- Carport roofs
Around Hedgecourt Lake, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.

FAQs for Outwood
Do you come out to small villages like Outwood?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Outwood from London?
Outwood is about 21 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
